An epic dramaturgy, a VERY wide range of expressive nuances and technical challenges – the Nocturne has it all! And, above everything else, this music has the power to ‘grip you by the heart’ and never let you go… Once you get acquainted with this masterpiece, you’ll fall in love with it. For life .

Listen to at least one of them before watching the tutorial below . Then, before (or during) the practice process, you can listen to the other ones as well. Notice (and enjoy) the unique vision of every performer, and how it is reflected in their tempo (and use of rubato), sound colors, phrasing, dynamics, voicing, emotional intensity etc. Such a great insight into the amazing flexibility of our art!
